Director Len Wiseman’s remake stars his wife Kate Beckinsall & Colin Farrell, with cinematography by Paul Cameron.

The original 1990 classic by Paul Verhoven starred Sharon Stone & Arnold Schwarzenneger, and successfully evoked the confusion between reality and dreams.

These images are from the trailer.
